Chris Cote, lead pastor of Rock Creek Church, said the “Light Up the Night for Jessica” gatherings will take place at the same time at Community Park in Superior, at Indiana Street and Coalton Avenue, and at Kensington Park in Westminster, at Countryside Drive and Moore Street.

He said officials from each municipality have given their approval for both gatherings to go ahead.

“We're asking every participant to bring a flashlight and shine them up into the sky,” Cote said. “These are two communities doing everything they can to find her.”

Cote said there will be clergy at each gathering leading the events and that people are encouraged to wear purple and green ribbons.
